[Windows] App crashes when closing about fenix HOT 6 CLOSED

Where did you install the program and when did you download Fenix? If it's the most recent version, you are given a choice of where to install the application. Older versions do not.

from fenix.

I have downloaded it today and I did not change the path.

C:\ProgramData\Fenix

from fenix.

OK - that eliminates one potential problem point. Does your system user account have admin privileges?

I don't think this has to do with the servers running or not. I suspect a possible permissions issue with saving the state of the servers though. When the app closes, it attempts to write a file called servers.fnx to %APPDATA%/Fenix (on Windows). This file is just a JSON file containing the list of server metadata, including whether they should be automatically started or not. If the directory does not exist, Fenix attempts to create it.

To test, I'd suggest right-clicking on Fenix and selecting "Run as admin". This should provide elevated permissions, assuming your account has admin privileges. If this fixes the problem, then we know it's a matter of elevating permissions.

Thanks, and sorry for the troubles.

Thats odd, I cannot reproduce the issue today. The file exists and the app closes without a crash.
As admin, it works as well.

Do you log crashes anywhere?

from fenix.

Unfortunately, the app can't log crashes without a substantial addition that I didn't want to ship (node-webkit crashdump). There is a debug mode... I'm afraid it will close before you can see anything though. If you want to send me an email at [email protected], I can send you instructions if you'd like to take a look at the debugger.

In the meantime, I'm going to mark this as wontfix since it's uncertain if there is an actual problem or if it was just a glitch. If the behavior surfaces again. If any other users experience this, I hope they'll post their experience here so we can squish a bug if there actually is one.

I did come across some glitchy behavior... granted it was on the Mac version, but I applied the same fixes to the Windows version. So, I think this issue is closed now, but if you continue to experience the problem, please send me a note and I'll reopen it.
